Tring School is an exciting place to work, learn and be part of a successful community. Our staff overwhelmingly enjoy working in such a great school with wonderful students.
Tring is no ordinary school. After a short time spent here, the majority of visitors to the school come to similar conclusions that it is all about the people. They marvel at the quality of relationships between staff, staff and students and students with each other. They note how happy students appear to be and how incredibly hard-working and dedicated our staff are.
At Tring School we have excellent staff who go above and beyond to create a learning culture fit for our students. Tring School staff truly believe in our vision and values and there is a real sense of community spirit within our school.
Our 2023 Ofsted inspection confirmed that Tring is a 'Good' School. 'Students are safe and happy here'. 'Tring is a school where everyone is made to feel welcome and can be themselves, whatever their background or personal situation'.
Tring School is not just about academic results, though, and we place great emphasis on nurturing the whole child to give them an enormous variety of experiences and knowledge that helps equip them for their adult lives. We offer a broad curriculum that optimises the education for all students whatever their ability or interests. This is a fundamental part of our Christian ethos.
We very much hope you enjoy learning about our fantastic school and look forward to receiving your application.

It is great staff and students that make great schools and Tring School typifies this. Our staff work tirelessly because they understand what it takes to get the best out of each student and I am honoured to be leading this team of talented and dedicated colleagues. We have the power to nurture wonderful students with a sense of morality, hometown pride and ambition and we strive to teach and educate like we invented it! Our motto, ‘Live to Learn and Learn to Live’ is part and parcel of everyday life at Tring School. Within our Christian community we believe in confident learners, ambitious individuals and responsible citizens underpinned with dignity and respect, and this means that we value the success of everyone, as well as their honesty and integrity.

Annual feedback from parents and students rate our academic provision and pastoral care very highly. I also recommend that you read our strategic vision to really understand our school and its ethos.
As the Headteacher of this wonderful school I have an overwhelming sense of duty to give Tring a legacy of world class education. It sounds grand, however, my words aren’t about this letter but a campaign based on having no excuses for accepting anything less. If you feel this matches your own beliefs and values then I would be delighted to hear from you. In your person specification, please include concise indications of your experience, achievements to date and how they will match the needs of the role here. Please add some thoughts on your educational philosophy and values since this will help us to understand more about you. I am also keen to discover something about you as a person; your interests, preoccupations and achievements.
I do hope that you’ll make an application to join us and that we will have the chance to meet.
Yours sincerely
Mrs Sally Ambrose
